Delicious and hits the spot every day. Almost too many flavors to choose from and their ice cream is equally good. Return with your receipt for a discount on your next purchase.

So good! We went several days in a row. Ice cream on the bottom and shave ice on top with cream on top of that. I got blue cotton candy syrup and vanilla ice cream. To die for!

Best shaved ice I’ve ever had. The ice it’s self has a soft, almost fluffy consistency. Staff is friendly and happy to make recommendations. Would definitely recommend.

Was a little bummed today. Last time we were there-5 stars. Today, they were out of 5 or 6 flavors. Not much flavor to the one we finally decided on either.

Best shave ice on Maui. Not too expensive, and all shave ice comes with ice-cream and Kauai cream. We're locals here on Maui, and this is the real deal.

Melted very fast, flavors were not good, bland. Very tiny scoop of ice cream. We bought at almost 6pm. Not near as good as other shave ice we have had from other places.

Sweet little local spot on S.Kihei rd. There are so many items on the menu making it hard to choose, especially if you've never had shave ice before. Get some with the Mac nut ice cream on the bottom and you will not be disappointed. I ended up going in the evening and they ran out of some items, but that was probably because they're so busy throughout the day. All in all a good stop.

Real shave ice right here. The ice is smooth. Like biting snow. You can pick ice cream as base of your shave ice. I would recommend going for it. Brings an additional dimension to the shave ice experience. They have a whole whole whole lot of flavours to chose from. Some very interesting ones too.

1) we waited in the proper line and she Tried to serve others before us (after waiting a while)2) she then met touching the ice with bare hands. Ringing the cash registers, touching money, moving the ice in machine again touching $$ again. No wash - no glove. Instead of four I bought one small to appease the youngest daughter. Unfriendly and unpleasant experience.

The place is a dive. But don't let the outside fool you. This shaved ice is the best. Flavors are mostly fruity and sourced locally. The ice is not packed, so the syrup fills the entire cup. I love getting the mango ice cream in the middle with the cherry and raspberry syrup on the ice. Service had been great every time at are there. Only wish they offered real spoons because those tongue depresser sticks don't cut it. Great view across the street of the beach and ocean, especially at sunset. The shopping plaza it nestles into hides some nice treasures. Love this place!

The young girl working here was pretty unimpressed with life in general. She would touch the cash, handle money, then go open the ice machine and move the block around with her bare hands and gigantic finger nails. They were out of a lot of flavors, the sign was barely legible, and her grouchy attitude didn’t make for a great visit. She had two friends hanging out at the counter and was loudly whining that she still had 3 hours left. I mean, I get it, you don’t like your job, but wash your hands and try to be nice to the customers.

listen Maui is known for their Hawaiian ice... but this place is something special. I got what they call the volcano. it sounded gross but tasted out of this world. vanilla ice cream on the bottom vanilla cherry and root beer flavors with cream on top. my friend got the Hawaiian rainbow which sounded gross but she said so it was so good... the staff is always friendly and nice, you can just get ice cream or candy when you're there. this is a must place if you're in Kihei. Enjoy!

Insipid flavors and coarse ice. I threw mine away it was so unappealing. Flavor and ice are better at Ululani's. At least Local Boys doesn't use plastic bowls that inevitably wind up in the landfill or the ocean.

Local Boys Shaved IcePros:🍾Fun place right across the beach. Lovely service and something different to try.🍦 I had the lemon, lime & strawberry shaved ice. Delicious with sweet and sour taste. This comes with the choice of ice cream underneath & cream on top (mine doesn’t have this).Cons: ⏰ Large crowds can cause long waits as only one person is serving.

We stumbled by this place and it didn't disappoint. The shaved ice here is such great value and so delicious. It comes with ice cream at the bottom which makes the dish so creamy and yummy. There are also a good mix of choices of ice cream that you can choose from. The way the shaved ice is made is that it is long and thin. This makes it not fall apart when you scoop it out, which is an important detail if you've had shaved ice from places that makes it crushed. Did I mention that the prices are super reasonable and affordable?! Highly recommend.

The shave ice was okay but the girl taking our order pretty much must hate life in general. She rolled her eyes, huffed and puffed the entire time she was doing our order. We were the only people there and I felt very rushed and like it was a huge inconvenience for her to do her job.

Home girl needs to either change jobs, or take a course on hospitality. Choosing to spend our hard earned money at her shave ice shop was SUCH an inconvenience for her. With a mediocre experience the night before, we knew the typical offerings are free ice cream and condensed milk on the top. We were offered neither. My dad spoke up on his order, and she rolled her eyes and threw the beginnings of his order in the sink so she could put ice cream in it. It’s unfortunate there are no other shops open in the evenings to offer some competition for this establishment. We will not be returning.

Visiting Maui on vacation we stopped here for some shaved ice and had a very pleasant experience with the first girl who served us. Decided to go back a few days later and when we asked for the bottom ice cream on the side male employee went off, unwarrantedly, saying how he will just throw our order away because he can’t do that or restart, and that he is deserving of love and respect and shouldn’t have to serve us tourists on our vacations. Ridiculous, unprofessional behavior. On the other hand girl server was wonderful.

First time having a REAL shaved ice with my husband and 8yr old. The ice was so fresh n smooth. We can see how it's made right in front of us. Staff was very friendly and recommended this Hawaiian rainbow flavor. There are plenty of flavors. I chose coconut ice cream for the base as the staff suggested and it was absolutely amazing. My daughter chose raspberry blue and husband chose Local boy flavor. All were good flavors
